Funny how one word can burn almost as much as "please". Wrong. He'd been wrong about the Boss. Wrong about every dream he tried to build his life around, about Cipher, about the Diamond Dogs. Wrong about leaving behind his mother and then leaving behind his father. How much had he been wrong about?

He stared a good few moments off to the side.

"I am wrong about a lot of things. Not this. And I'm not going to let you make me wrong. I don't think you want me to feel like that." Because he's certain Rinzler did have a concept of feelings.

"Those things I mentioned. They couldn't even walk in a straight line if they weren't being controlled. But you can still move where you want, say what you want... even if it takes a little effort to work through it. You're not like those." And he should have stopped him. He could have. He knew that he could have.
